Health Benefits of Turkey Tacos:
Turkey is an excellent source of lean protein, making it a great option for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. It’s also low in fat and calories, making it a perfect choice for those who want to reduce their intake of red meat. In addition, turkey is a good source of essential nutrients such as vitamin B6, niacin, and phosphorus.

To make turkey tacos, you’ll need ground turkey, a great taco seasoning like our Big Cove Taco Enhancer, tortillas, and your choice of toppings. Common toppings include diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, grated cheese, salsa, and avocado.
Cooking Directions:
Start by browning the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Once the turkey is cooked through, add the taco seasoning and a small amount of water, and continue cooking until the seasoning is well combined.
Next, warm your tortillas either in the oven or on a skillet. Once the tortillas are warm, fill them with the seasoned turkey and your desired toppings. Fold the tortillas in half and enjoy!
